What does an ENERGY STAR score of 49 mean?

ENERGY STAR scores run from 1 to 100 and are computed by the EPA's Portfolio Manager as a percentile against similar buildings nationwide, adjusted for climate, size and use: a score of 49 means the building performs better than about 49% of its national peers. BuildingCensus bands the score into report-card grades; 49 falls in band D — lowest band (1–54). It sits 26 points below 75, the threshold for ENERGY STAR certification. In Los Angeles, 63% of scored buildings are at 75 or above.

Site energy-use intensity (EUI) is the energy a building uses on site in a year divided by its floor area, in thousand Btu per square foot — lower is more efficient. 10309 W OLYMPIC BLVD's 208.8 kBtu/ft² across 34,187 sq ft works out to about 7.1 billion Btu (2,092 MWh-equivalent) in 2025. Its source EUI of 523.2 kBtu/ft² also counts the energy lost generating and delivering that power, which is why it is higher.
